Meanwhile, next door…

Despite Premier Kathy Dunderdale’s best wishes to quash all legislative debate and public discussion of the development of the Lower Churchill, there will be a Standing Committee Meeting tasked specifically with examination of the project.

Members of the legislature of all party stripes, assembled in their regular committee hearing room will hear presentations from a host of government officials and senior representatives of the proponent company.

If that concept sounds foreign to you, it’s probably because you’re from Newfoundland & Labrador.

The legislative standing committee meeting is, naturally, happening elswhere, in Nova Scotia.
